## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules.  All those who attend Church services are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

Holy Trinity PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the Incumbent, the Revd Jim Taylor, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church – pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. 

## **CHARITABLE OBJECTIVES;** 

After the challenges of 2020, the last year has been a time of restoring the routines and rhythms of the church as well as being an opportunity to review our offerings and decide what to start, what continue and what to stop. 

The main themes of this year have been re-building (literally and figuratively!) and reconnecting as people were encouraged to return to church and we were able to make connections in the wider community through the necessity of having to relocate . 

Attendance and finances continued to be significant issues but improvements began to be seen as the year drew to a close and continue to improve in 2022. 

On the whole church life has continued in some form or other and HTI has been able to continue in its journey of following Jesus and becoming more like him in our communities and families. 

This report documents some of the highlights of the year and the PCC’s involvement in the leading and directing of the church’s stated aim of _PROMOTING IN THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH THE WHOLE MISSION OF THE CHURCH._ 

The PCC met 6 times in 2021, mostly in person but with Zoom options for those needing it. The Standing Committee didn’t meet during this time.

**REVIEW OF THE YEAR – 2021** 


**----- Start of picture text -----**<br>
Avg Service Attendance 2018 - 2021<br>180<br>160<br>140<br>120<br>100<br>80<br>60<br>40<br>20<br>0<br>Sun 9.30am Sun 11.00am Wed 10am<br>2018 2019 2020 2021<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


For the second year of the pandemic church attendance numbers fell yet again, however this was mostly due to the restrictions that were in place Jan-Apr 2021, which discouraged people from attending regularly. 

The graphs show that the 9.30am and Midweek services remain largely unaffected. 

The 11am services have suffered the most in terms of attendance despite seeing the largest increase in new people attending. One reason for this may be that the lack of children’s church/ activities deterred families from attending and highlights the importance of this ministry and the need to have a determined focus on getting these back up and running this year. 

We should however be encouraged that 2022 is seeing increasing growth across all services with new people joining us regularly, and the newer people who joined during the lockdowns are becoming more involved in church by joining home groups, volunteering, readers etc.

Life Services continued to be offered with baptisms being the most affected but we are certainly making up for that in 2022 with every baptism service now booked until the end of the year.

Our big seasonal celebration events were again affected by restrictions but again seeing some increases across all the services (except Christmas Day which was cancelled due to the weather!). 

The 2022 Easter services were very well attended with over 250 people over the two services, and other services we have hosted such as Idle and Immanuel schools Easter services, Immanuel prizegiving evening and the reopening service all having over 300 people in attendance we can look forward to an equally successful Christmas season.
